really fine roses at low prices. Carna- 

 tions have been scarce since Mothers' 

 day and ordinary stock sells for 75 

 cents per dozen. There is a heavy sup- 

 ply of sweet peas, Spencers showing up 

 particularly well. Many varieties of 

 gladioli are offered, including Mrs. 

 Francis King and America. Lilies are 

 on the wane. Pansies in flats are popu- 

 lar. Primulas, both cut and potted, sell 

 well. 



Various Notes. 



Jack Olson, of the New Rosarie, re- 

 ports much basket work for dinners, 

 etc. He is making a special feature of 

 this class of work and says it has 

 brought him many new customers. 

 Basket work, he says, is extremely de- 

 sirable in that it uses odds and ends 

 of everything. 



Some of the growers have a griev- 

 ance in the treatment they at times 

 have received at the hands of the San 

 Francisco police. This applies to those 

 bringing in stock in wagons. This 

 method gets them into trouble on ac- 

 count of the license restrictions. The 

 police take some of them in at the 

 California Flower Market, on Bush 

 street, every few weeks. An arrest was 

 made a day or so ago. 



Henry Maier, of the Burlingame 

 Nursery Co., who was operated on for 

 appendicitis recently, is reported to be 

 in a serious condition. 



The annual spring flower show of the 

 Menio Park Horticultural Society was 

 held May 21. 



Frank Pelicano, who has been at 

 Byron Hot Springs for two weeks on 

 account of rheumatism, is recovering 

 nicely and is expected back on duty 

 shortly. 



John Gill, of the E. Gill Nursery Co., 

 was called to Williams, Cal., recently 

 to act as judge at the annual rose show 

 of the Sacramento Valley Eose Society, 

 which he says was highly successful. 



The rose show at the E. Gill Nursery 

 Co. place, at West Berkeley, May 12 

 and 13, was so successful that the com- 

 pany has decided to make it an annual 

 event. The packing shed near the main 

 entrance to the grounds was converted 

 into an attractive setting for the dis- 

 play by the use of white birch and oak 

 branches as a background. Dorothy 

 Perkins roses were banked along one 

 side of the room and a long table ex- 

 tended down the other side, on which

were arranged 250 varieties of roses, in- 

 cluding many new specimens. Ijady 

 Hillingdon attracted much attention, as 

 did Irish Fireflame, Sunburst, Warrior, 

 Mme. Edouard Herriot, Hoosier Beauty, 

 British Queen, Venus, Princess of 

 Wales and others. • After visiting the 

 show, the guests were at liberty to 

 tour the grounds, and many availed 

 themselves of the opportunity to visit 

 the rose beds near the waterfront. 



S. Picetti, who has charge of the 

 flower and seed department of the Em- 

 porium, for Charles C. Navlet, of San 

 Jose, has arranged for a big sale spe- 

 cial on potted roses during the celebra- 

 tion of the twentieth anniversary of the 

 store, when all departments of the 

 store will offer special sales. He says 

 the demand for French hydrangeas 

 keeps up remarkable well.
